2016 Outlook: Quality Backup

Folk is expected to return as the Jets' kicker in 2016 after blowing out a quad before Week 9 last season. New York was more productive in TDs in 2015 leading to Nick being on a sub-par pace prior to his injury. After eight games, he made 13 of his 16 field goal attempts while making all 19 of his extra point tries. In 2014, the Jets only scored 23 TDs with extra point tries leading to Folk attempting 39 field goals (league high). He made 23 of those chances which led to an 82.1 percent success rate. In his career, Nick is 212 for 263 in FGs (80.6) while making 21 of 35 from 50 yards or longer. If healthy, Folk has a steady leg with his upside tied to more growth by New York's offense. The Jets should play well defensively so Nick may get above the league average field goal chances.
